Configuring VPN
OpenVPN Configuration
Service Port
Enter a VPN service port to which a VPN device connects. The default port is 1194.
Local Network
Select the network on the local side of the VPN tunnel. The VPN policy will be only
applied to the selected local network.
WAN
Select the WAN port on which the VPN tunnel is established. Each WAN port
supports only one OpenVPN tunnel when the gateway works as a OpenVPN server.
IP Pool
Enter the IP address and subnet mask to decide the range of the VPN IP pool.
The VPN server will assign IP address to the remote host when the tunnel is
established. You can specify any reasonable IP address that will not cause overlap
with the IP address of the LAN on the local peer router.
Note:
•
After saving the settings, export the OpenVPN file that ends in .ovpn which is to be used
by the remote client. The exported OpenVPN file contains the certificate and configuration
information. It may take about 2 minutes to export the certificate.
